Today I had to break a cardinal rule. My lovely wife decided it was time to pursue her anti-gun agenda. She decided that she did not want any firearms in the house (you know, because my 16 month old can crack safes) and attempted to lay down the law. I fought valiantly but because I love my wife and don't like the couch, I was forced into a compromise. I could have one gun in the house. At this point, my "arsenal" consisted of:
Ruger SP-101, Hogue grip, 3" barrel
Bersa Thunder .380
Ruger 10/22
Not exactly a collection but the beginning of one
.
Anyhow, because I have a CCP I decided that none of these weapons could fit the role of my "one and only". Off to the gun store I went. Once there I perused the rather large assortment of pistols and narrowed my choices to two: Ruger's SR9c and the Glock 19.
I asked the owner how much would I have to come up with on top of the trade of the three weapons listed above. He said that he could trade straight across for the Ruger. I knew that I was going to take a hit on the trade but, damn! I asked him about the Glock and was told that $100 would get it done. I came home with the Glock.
Despite the hype and popularity surrounding the SR9c (I was told they stay on the shelf for about a day when they arrive), I feel that I made the right decision. Glocks are proven. They are light weight. Parts and accessories are everywhere.
Since this will be my carry piece, does anyone have suggestions as to what kind of setup to use. I prefer IWB but I don't know how that will work out given that I'm used to the smaller Bersa.
Also, the gun has Glock night sights installed. Any feed back on how long they will stay bright?
Thanks
